Yesterday Laura made the journey back to London from Paris, although this time she definitely took the easy way....!!! So great to travel back across the English Channel on the ferry to take in the enormity of what Laura achieved on her swim and get a different view of the shipping traffic and white cliffs of Dover. Once back on English soil we made a quick trip to Samphire Hoe (the beach that Laura started her swim from) where we were treated to a reenactment of the swim start (it was pitch black when she started and we could only see her light from the boat)! Laura also took a moment to select a rock from the beach to join her rock from the French beach where she landed, a long standing tradition of English Channel swimmers. Well done Laura!

So what do you do after finishing the @enduromanarch2arc and setting a new record for the fastest woman non wetsuit..??? You sleep in, you eat a delicious burger, you return to the scene of the finish at the Arc de Triomphe to see it in the daylight (it's MUCH busier in the day time, definitely happy to have finished in the early hours of the morning) and you take a little stroll to the Eiffel Tower with family!!! 🇫🇷 But then you head back to bed early because sleep is great.... Thanks again to everyone for all the kind and generous comments you have sent through, Laura is slowly working her way through reading them all and catching up on all the online buzz that was happening while she was doing the event. 👍
Huge thanks for all the donations too, we've been absolutely blown away by how generous everyone has been. If your keen there is still time to donate to the GoFundMe page at:

This is video is from a little while ago, ran out of reception for a while. Currently at the 10 hour mark. The swell and chop has increased, making Laura a little nauseous, but being the trooper she is she is staying constant and just getting on with it.

12 hours in and France is well and truly in sight. There is still lots of hard work to do but Laura is looking good and swimming very consistently. She gave us a bit of cheek at the last feed and had a laugh so she is feeling good.
Don't forget to donate to her GoFundMe page at:

7 hours in and still swimming strong like a champion. She's told a few jokes and has given us a bit of smarty pants sass and is keeping in great spirits. Tide starting to turn so you should see our tracker take us back down the coast. Go Laura!!!

A little bit of fog has come in, the sun is trying to break through though. We are almost 6 hours in, she is well in to south west shipping lane and have already had one visit from a curious seal. Laura swimming really well and looking good.
